What do staring down Russians in airports, being mistaken for Russian speakers, and discovering Lithuania's obsession with herbal liquors have in common?

From Yulia's anti-disinformation fellowship in Vilnius to awkward encounters with Putin-defending Russians living comfortably abroad, they break down the culture shock of leaving a war zone.They also dive into why Europeans still can't spell Kyiv correctly, the trauma of hotel staff assuming you speak Russian after seeing your Ukrainian passport, and how Lithuanian military takes disinformation seriously (but maybe not seriously enough).Plus: 17-hour solo drives thanks to the "brotherly" nation, making new friends through mutual Russian-bashing, Soviet architectural remnants, and why asking your American neighbors for sugar will get you three-headed stares.🎯 New episodes every week where we unmask the headlines, the hypocrisy, and ourselves — one existential laugh at a time.——🧭 Find us here:Masha Yulia ——🍺 Buy Luki Gin hereUSE CODE unmasking10 for a 10% discount
